A magnitude 3.1 earthquake centered about a mile north of San Jacinto shook the Hemet and San Jacinto valleys on Wednesday, but there were no reports of damage.

The quake was recorded at 3:09 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey, which reported the epicenter as 1.1 miles northwest of San Jacinto and 3.5 miles due north of Hemet.

Immediately after the quake, the Hemet Fire Department conducted a roll call to ensure the safety of crews and to check the status of firehouses. All were reported to be fine.

The quake came a day before The Great California ShakeOut, a series of earthquake drills conducted statewide by individuals. This year is the 10th Anniversary of the ShakeOut, which began in Southern California in 2008.

Organizers call it "a great way for your family or organization to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes — wherever you live, work, or travel."
